🧵 Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) is one of my favourite artists - as for her, art IS emotion. Throughout her life she depicted a series of astonishing self-portraits. She was a master of ink, charcoal, pencil, stone & bronze. She’s one of the greatest Western artists [1]

Not many people in Britain, it seems, have heard of Fort Breendonk in Belgium - a pre-WW1 army fort that was turned into a WW2 prison by the occupying Germans.
There are many stories of the cruelties carried out here by the SS, some involving the commandant's dog. /1
Un long couloir voûté s’étire à perte de vue, creusé dans l’épaisseur massive du fort. Les murs blanchis, marqués par l’humidité, les fissures et le temps, dégagent une froide austérité. Le sol carrelé, usé et irrégulier, reflète faiblement la lumière crue des lampes suspendues au plafond, alignées comme une procession implacable. À droite et à gauche, des portes sombres et des ouvertures étroites rythment l’espace, évoquant l’enfermement et la surveillance. Des tuyaux et câbles courent le long des parois, renforçant l’impression d’un lieu fonctionnel, oppressant. L’ensemble respire le silence, la lourdeur et la mémoire douloureuse du Fort de Breendonk, chargé d’une histoire tragique.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic
"The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."
“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/
